# Object Counting using Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀
|
|
|
|
## What is Object Counting?
|
|
|
|
Object counting with [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/) involves accurate identification and counting of specific objects in videos and camera streams. YOLOv8 excels in real-time applications, providing efficient and precise object counting for various scenarios like crowd analysis and surveillance, thanks to its state-of-the-art algorithms and deep learning capabilities.

## Advantages of Object Counting?
|
|
|
|
- **Resource Optimization:** Object counting facilitates efficient resource management by providing accurate counts, and optimizing resource allocation in applications like inventory management.
|
|
- **Enhanced Security:** Object counting enhances security and surveillance by accurately tracking and counting entities, aiding in proactive threat detection.
|
|
- **Informed Decision-Making:** Object counting offers valuable insights for decision-making, optimizing processes in retail, traffic management, and various other domains.

# Define region points
